Anna Schmidt (Huber) age 79, a 47-year resident of Wayne, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, October 6, 2016 with family by her side.
Anna was born in Bakonyjako, Hungary, and grew up in Eisenharz, West Germany. In 1956 she came to the United States and initially lived with her uncle in the Bronx, NY. Anna worked as a nanny in Long Island, and when her dear cousin and her husband offered Anna a room in their home, Anna moved to Paterson.
Having gone to grade school in Hungary with her husband-to-be, Joseph Schmidt, their paths crossed once again in the United States in 1957 while at a dance on picnic grounds in North Haledon that are now known as the Tides Estate. They fell in love and married at Saint Boniface Church in Paterson on May 3, 1958, then resided in Paterson, NJ. An odd coincidence is that years earlier, while a soldier for the Hungarian Army, Joe had predicted he would meet the love of his life and get married on May 3, 1958! Ten years after being married, Joe and Anna moved to their home in Wayne. They were blessed with a fantastic marriage of fifty-eight years. They enjoyed many firehouse dances, evenings out at the Guild Hall, and weekend trips to Riedelbauers in the Catskills, NY where they spent wonderful times with many good friends and family.
Anna was the loving wife of Joseph Schmidt; devoted mother of Joseph M. Schmidt and wife Jem of Swindon, UK, and Maryann Cecere and husband Matthew of Wayne; cherished Oma of Jessica and Gregory Schmidt, and Jason and Nicole Cecere; much loved sister of Michael Huber and his wife Karin of Germany; and also loved by many dear cousins, nieces and nephews. Anna was predeceased by her sisters Maria Hagn of Sussex, NJ and Katharina Wittpahl of Germany.
